Jimmy Kimmel: Show to return after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments
www.bbc.co.uk
The late-night talk programme will resume on Tuesday following "thoughtful conversations", says the entertainment giant.

Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the statement says.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

    Let’s go ahead & start calling & boycotting all of NexStar and Sinclair’s advertisers since they decided they aren’t going to have Kimmel back.

    “OK, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel,” he wrote on Facebook. “The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or Nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or sometime this week. 3. Note the companies that bought TV adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.”

    “Trust me. I worked in TV for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing,” he continued. “This is a much more effective tool than cancelling Disney. We did cancel Disney but calling Joe’s Jeep dealership who is buying adds on the local Nexstar station will have a BIG impact. Joe doesn’t need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on.”

    Also, they are fascists & deserve to be destroyed anyhow.
